A light was lit in a room of a luxurious palace. A chandelier made of glass with yellow pyroxene shines from the floor through the walls, creating a shadow on the furnishings, whose subtle designs add to the luxury.

A man who had neat yellow blond hair was sitting on a chair. A terrible handsome boy. He was the crown prince of the Rhodesian Empire, Benjamin, a great power who engraved the northwestern continent. Benjamin stared at the crystal ball, which was large enough to ride in both hands. The crystal ball emitted a faint light, and behind it was a faint figure.

"Wow, where are you?"

The silhouette replied. Benjamin reassembled his feet and laughed as if impressed.

"I've been to that place. You're an actor for something, aren't there anything interesting? ...

With his cheeks and elbows on his crossed legs, Benjamin leaned toward the crystal ball.

"Something seems to be moving ... heh, it's getting fun, but come back a little. I'm busy with this and that too-don't say such a crazy thing at all,"

The wind blew and the thin glass windows shook in the direction. A figure appeared from the darkness of the room. Dark dark brown hair tied behind. François, the third son of the Grand Prince of Estgal, was himself. However, there was no expression on his face, and his skin was as white as wax.

"Your Highness. It's time." "Hmm? Ah ... then again."

The faint light of the crystal ball has disappeared. Benjamin gets up.

"Is it Schweitz-sama?" "Yes, he's fast moving, so it's interesting. Hey, do you remember me too? That's the" black-haired warrior girl. " It's moving. ''

François' eyebrows moved. Benjamin laughed at him.

"Don't be terrifying. I'll give you some remorse." "... Thank you for your happiness."

An eerie smile spread over François' face, who had no expression. Benjamin passed by, politely bowing his head, and came out of the room. François immediately turned over and followed.

Percival's body, stripped of her cloak and jacket, was terribly hardened and tight. The muscular bones are prominent as you can see from the top of the shirt, but they are not just bulging. The waste was cut off in the actual battle, and it seemed to resemble steel. Percival squeezed his fist and took a big breath and looked at the Bergryph.

"Nice" "Yeah"

We also have opposing Bergryphs. Both are empty hand fists. Stab each other with a sharp gaze so as not to miss each other's every move. There was a tense feeling of tension as if I felt the blood flowing around my body with each breath.

I think Bergryf's left foot moved slightly, and Percyval stepped in. At the same time, the palms fly away. She seemed to have received it on her left shoulder. But when he lifted his left foot and centered on the right prosthesis, he twisted his body as if the door was opening. Percival's fist, who has lost the impact, pushes the Bergryph, but is parryed behind it.

As soon as he put his left foot on, he stepped down, and Bergliff shook his fist from above. But as soon as Percival saw that he had been attacked, he immediately repositioned and grabbed the fist before it was dropped.

"... I see. It's a movement that can't be done with my ankles. It's not bad."

Percival smiled, pulling his wrist, grabbing his hand on the waist of a distressed Berggryph, and rolling gently on his back.

"But it doesn't work very well. It's an immediate task." "Well ... I'm not going to win you anyway." I'll get along with you. "

Persival laughed, that's my responsibility. Bergryf raised his upper body and scratched his head with a grin.

"Be gentle, because you don't know how you're doing." "What do you say, I don't know how to get the odds out. Isn't the" paladin "Sigoki even more amazing?"

Percival said, putting on his jacket. Bergliff shrugged.

"I didn't do much kumami with Graham ... I was taught how to meditate and how to circulate magic. Thanks to this, I didn't need to waste power to move." I shouldn't let the shortcomings be covered, but be good. I'm still too wasteful. "I can't help being compared to the S-rank adventurer ..." "Hah! "Akaoni" -san, "Mu ..."

Bergliff twisted his beard in trouble. Percival smiled happily and put his cloak on his shoulder.

"Let's go.

Bergliff nodded and stood up.

Percival seemed to have regained its old cheerfulness, but with some knots trying to behave in the dark, it was still somewhat awkward. It may be more unnatural to return so easily, because you've been blocked for a long time. Bergligh thought that because he was aware of this, he might be trying to behave too brightly and look for a calm place in himself. It may just be shy.

The mass outbreak of the great beast, the Great Kaisho, still continued. It seemed like the peak was over, and S-rank monsters like Bahamut and the Fallen Farmer seemed to be declining in number. Therefore, it seemed that more and more adventurers were going inside the hole in search of better materials.

However, the inside of the stone building is still busy. The pair that arrived earlier seems to be still too early to pull it up, and some have arrived after the wrong timing, and merchants are starting to appear to buy more materials. People seemed to be increasing. It was not unusual for strangers to be sleeping apart from each other, with spaces between spare partitions.

As the Berglyphs flipped over the divider and entered, Ishmer was gazing at something like a small piece of stone. It looks through a small tube that is like a magnifying glass or a palm. Ishmer noticed them and looked up.

"Go home" "What's that?"

Percival narrowed his eyes and sat down.

"It's a dragon crystal. It's the earth's navel, it's very good quality. Would you like to see it?"

Percival didn't seem to shrug and pick up, but Bergriff picked it up and looked through a magnifying glass. Indeed, in a crystal-clear stone, you can see a lot of small grains that look like mica.

"Are they different from magic crystals?" "Yes, they are crystallites, but they are in the nest of dragons. The body fluid of the dragon was crystallized in combination with the magic power." "What is this?" "I process it into a lens. If it is refined properly, the light that passes through the lens is converted into a kind of magical power. There is

I don't know what is difficult, but it's just about making something with it. The wizard was terrific, Bergliff was impressed and returned the gemstone to Ishmer. He brewed tea and listened to the hustle and bustle heard from behind. It looks like a fight is happening, as the monsters are coming up.

Angelin and others are out. I have been asked by Istaf's guild to collect the materials. Berglyf, who is reluctant to fight, aims to reunite with Percyval, who does not like it, and an old friend. He muttered while fixing the position of the bonfire wood.

"Is the Angers OK?" "No worries, he is strong."

Percival said so and sipped the flower tea. Bergliff laughed as he cluttered.

"Don't worry if you say that." "S-rank adventurers don't necessarily have the same ability. Among them, there are strong and weak. Angers are definitely strong. "There's also Kassim." "Yes ... but it's difficult. I have a high rank above the clouds, but there is a rating among them." Was A-ranked. "

Ishmer said.

"But, even among the same ranks, the ability started to show a difference, and gradually a new rank was created on top of AAA and AAA, and it was said that the S rank was made. I guess it's evolving ... maybe a new rank may be created again. "" I didn't know that ... well, I'm a story with no higher ranks. " Whatever you say, despite being able to interact with the beast. You're somewhere off, Bell. "

Percival laughed. Bergliff scratched his head in trouble.

"No, that's thanks to Graham's sword ... it's borrowed, it's not my own ability." "Well, my low self-esteem is still ... You should be able to grasp your ability correctly. Your eyes are sharp and you will suddenly become cloudy when it comes to yourself.

Bergliff looked down. That may be the case. Even without the use of Graham's sword, some high-ranked adventurers have enough skills to fight. But I can't win. He had defeated the Orphen adventurers, and even Sasha will lose if he fights now. It's just that you're growing compared to your old self.

"... I don't want to be an adventurer in the first place."

ぽ Tweet and whispered, and brought the cup to his mouth. If it is settled in the past, he will return to Tornella and plow the soil. Then there is nothing to do with the sword arm. Percival leaned against the wall.

"Is it an adventurer ... I was crazy, I was aiming for the top, but it was surprisingly big." That's bad too ...

Percival raised her arms and folded her arms above her knees. Stare at the burning fire with a sharp eye.

"That black monster. Only he can't cut it with this hand." "... I don't have to worry too much, Percy. I don't want to see you burning with revenge." "Bad bell. This guy is mean. It's just to make myself bullied. Well, that's only after finding Satie."

Percival then ran wildly and succumbed to his loss. Bergliff laid his cup and crossed his arms.

"... Is Sati gone away early?" "Oh, I've been cornered too much ..."

Percival wildly scratched his head.

"It wasn't until he was ranked A that he disappeared a little later .... The level of difficulty in receiving requests jumped. Nevertheless, I didn't take a break and kept receiving requests one after another. Kasim was an adult, but he had a lot of quarrels with Sati, and he said only terrible things to him who was exhausted. I don't know if he would be apologized ... I want to apologize. " Well, that girl is not weak. "

Ishmer grabbed a medicine can.

"It's difficult, looking for a single person in this large world" "Yes ... but it's the same between the sky and the ground wherever you are."

Bergriff said he took the cup to his mouth.

A downturned battle ax smashed the head of a furry beast. The monster's four limbs are shabby as if bursting, making it unlikely that they could walk. Anessa's arrow is a specially crafted spell that can be used as a normal arrow, but it can be used as a normal arrow, but if the shooter is worried about it and shoots with magic, it will explode when stabbed. Probably because of that arrow. Duncan sighed with a battle ax beside the immovable beast.

"Yeah, I'm struggling." "Mr. Duncan, nice ... what else?"

Angelin looked around with his sword in his hand. Fights were everywhere, but now it's a bit calm. There are many powerful beasts out there, rather than swarms of creeping monsters. Since the number of adventurers is also increasing, they are equal in number. However, it seems that too much fighting makes it difficult to grasp the situation. Marguerite came with a light step.

"That's also done. That's a big deal just because there are so many."

Miriam rushed from behind Marguerite. Anessa, standing beside Angelin, takes out a note from her pocket.

"... Yeah, Pimentel's fur, the fur of a beast. But is this monster like that?" "It fits, it's okay."

Another person came from Kasim. Accompanied by Yakumo and Lucile.

"The momentum of the demon has calmed down, too. I'm not aware of the end of the tsunami." "It wasn't that far ..."

Angelin stretched with a sword in it. Yakumo smiles and carries the spear again.

"It's really difficult, but it's not too difficult ... if you're the only high-ranking adventurer, you can't afford to feel it. The shellfish and the birds quarreled. The shells sandwiched the bird's beak trying to snatch the shellfish, and they gave each other a step. Both fishermen came to a place where they could not move. I'm stupid, and it makes sense. "

The yakmo pierced Lucille with a spear handle. Angeline gigs.

"Huh ... what do Yakumo-san and Lucille do when he finishes the Okai?" "No, how do you do it? Especially if you decide ... what do you do?" I'm going to look for it.

Kasim said. Marguerite crossed hands behind his head.

"But you don't know where you are? You don't even know Maulin and you can't find a clue?" "But I found Percy without a clue as well, and Sati was unexpectedly found. I guess Yakumo and Lucile knew that ... well, I'd like to see Saty again ... but the high-ranking people here don't have any information Wonder"

Anessa groans with her arms folded. Duncan strokes his beard.

"Either way, I'll have to do the work of Istaf's guild master." "Yeah ... sorry, Duncan-san, we're going to get along." You can make money just by seeing an unusual user's sword like ""

Angeline dyed her cheeks and scratched her head. The waves of the monsters seemed to have pulled off, and there were some adventurers who dismantled the carcasses of the monsters that had been arrested here and there, and were sitting down with their weapons and resting. Anessa removes the dismantling knife.

"I don't need the amount? Is it okay to peel this much?" "Yeah, this is one ... a bottle of the body fluid of the sub-dragon earlier."

Angeline checks the number of materials while watching Anessa's note. They seem to have gathered, but there was one thing that was not yet available. It is a shell of a large armor insect. This is an insect monster whose body height and length are several times larger than that of a human. The shells are very hard and scratch-resistant, but can be processed into very high quality equipment and decorations. It seems to be used as a tool for magic experiments. Due to the nature of the shell material, there is no point in waiting for it to crawl up from the hole. Angelin folded the note and missed it.

"... maybe you need a dungeon search" "Do you mean dive into the" hole "?

Marguerite is visibly intense. Miriam leans on his cane.

"Okay, but let's stop today. It's dangerous after a series of high-ranking beasts." "Well, I can still go."

Yakumo beat Marguerite with a bitter smile.

"I'm a princess, I'm feeling sick after the battle. But I'm sure my body gets tired. If I don't notice it, I'll scoop my feet where it's important." Maybe. "

Marguerite swung his shoulders and swayed his toes to confirm his senses. Indeed, the back of the calf seemed strangely heavy from the soles, and nodded as convinced. Angelin grinned and poked Marguerite.

"I'm angry if I have a dad or grandpa ..." "U, Urusei"

Marguerite dyed his cheeks and turned around. Friends laugh brilliantly. Kasim put on his mountain hat again.

"Well, the only thing left is that shell? I hope I'll dive again tomorrow. I won't escape the dungeon." "Yeah ... Arne, are you done?" "Wait, a little more ..."

Anessa confirmed that the peeled skin was well on the back. Then roll it up and hold it aside.

"What about the meat?" "This isn't delicious."

Lucile said. Yakumo nods.

"If you let it go, the other guys will do it. It's not worth the time to break it down. There's still plenty of Bahamut meat." "If you don't, let's go back and drink some alcohol." "I'm hungry." "Let's go. I won't be able to see you if the next wave comes."

Duncan said and laughed and started walking. Angelin looked around lightly and then moved her foot.

After a break, diving into the "hole" or waiting for the next wave, I passed the building with some and many adventurers. When I came to the partition, I heard a voice from inside. Bergliff and Toya were facing each other across a bonfire. Percival is leaning against a wall, and Ishmer is inspecting the magic stone with a magnifying glass.

"That's terrific ... then" Paladin "is an elf's royal family." I didn't take pride in it. I'm a quiet but good guy. "" But I'm enviable. I'm just listening to the story from Morin. "" I hope you'll come to play someday. Oh, you're back Anger. "I'm in the way." "Hmm ... what's the matter, Morin-san?"

Marguerite said and laughed. Angelin also relaxed and clasped her hand behind Bergriff's shoulder.

"I told you to go eat something." "Yes, it's already such a time ... Percy, you've slept?" "No, I'm awake.

When Percyval opened his eyes, he lifted his arms while stretching a lot, and stretched.

"So, did you collect all the material?" "Yeah, one more. I just couldn't get into the" holes ". That's tomorrow," said Kasim. "What is it?" "Large armor insect shell"

Percival had been wielding his sword in Earth's Navel for a long time, so he wanted to know more about the inside of the hole. He says that he can also find a place with a shell of a large armor insect. Bergliff looked reassured.

"I'm glad. Percy can be left with peace of mind. Thank you." "What kind of work is Kasim?" "Oh, don't give up, Bell."

Kasim is grinning. Angelin glistened and grabbed Bergriff's clothes. She seems to be happy and helpless.

"Dad!" "... I'm here."

Berglyf grinned, giving up.
